Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the "Pufferfish Ban," restrictions on the sale and consumption of puffer fish were enforced, and restaurants were prohibited from serving puffer fish dishes. The Meiji government also issued a decree stating that those who consumed puffer fish would face detention and fines. However, the situation dramatically changed a few years later, thanks to a
prime minister .
The prime minister, a significant figure in modern East Asian history, is best known to Taiwanese people for signing the Treaty of Shimonoseki on behalf of Japan. In addition to his strong political influence, the prime minister was a food enthusiast. The lifting of the puffer fish ban in Japan was credited to him. The first restaurant to receive permission to serve puffer fish dishes was "Shunpanro," located in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This restaurant was also the venue for signing the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
"Shunpanro" was originally a hospital, established in by Dr. Fujino Genyo, providing medical services and a medicinal hot spring for patients. After Dr. Fujino's death, his wife transformed the hospital into a restaurant and inn named "Shunpanro." Once,the prime minister stayed at Shunpanro. Due to poor weather preventing fishermen from going to sea, the restaurant served the forbidden puffer fish. The prime minister had heard of puffer fish’s delicacy from others, greatly enjoyed it. Consequently, a year later, Yamaguchi Prefecture became the first place in Japan to permit puffer fish consumption, allowing puffer fish dishes to be served openly.
Although Shimonoseki was the first area in Japan to lift the puffer fish ban , it was surprising that it took until 1918 for the Kinki region, specifically Hyogo Prefecture, to become the second area to lift the ban, a full thirty years later. Osaka Prefecture only lifted the ban in 19xx. This demonstrates that, before World War II, Japan's understanding of pufferfish toxins was still limited, and local governments took a cautious approach.
Q:Who's the prime minister?When did Osaka lifted the puffer fish ban?When was the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed?
Ito Hirobumi
1918
1895
